SELLER INSIGHT
The house offers cottage charm but unlike older period properties, there is relatively low on-going maintenance making it the perfect ‘lock up and go’ home.”
“Exceptional build quality with stunning brickwork detailing and intricate features afforded by Peter Sowerby executive homes.”
“The rooms are very generous in size allowing for a relaxed living environment and to have patio doors from both the kitchen and the living room is a bonus.”
“The landscaped garden is very pretty, completely enclosed by walls so very sheltered. There are well-stocked borders, a pond and an Italian-styled Mediterranean planted gravel garden. As well as a charming summerhouse with mains power, it also has the perfect west facing sun terrace for relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine!”
“Harmston offers beautiful rural living but with every required amenity close at hand; Waddington is a 5 minute drive, Lincoln a 15 minute drive and excellent rail and road networks are nearby too.”*
